IMPROVING DIABETES INSIPIDUS PATIENT SAFETY

In support of The Pituitary Foundation’s safety campaign for people with diabetes insipidus, we have collated resources for medical professionals, including a patient safety card, essential treatment guidance and relevant clinical guidelines. The term ‘diabetes insipidus’ is very often mistaken for diabetes mellitus, by healthcare professionals as well as the general public. We hope our new web page will be an evolving and convenient source of expert information for medical professionals.
